Hi Tatyana... I love sharing your visits to these wonderful nurseries and private gardens! It's great to see so many plants that I attempt to grow but don't necessarily have the right conditions for... keep these posts coming as they are a real inspiration! Larry

About your Melianthus? PlantZAfrica says - The plants can survive in cold areas with frost, sending new shoots from the base in spring.Which has encouraged me to cut back old woody growth to the base, much like pruning roses. Altho my plant grows with the winter rain.

In our country we have a (for Europe) famous Japanese maple nursery, called Esveld. But your Yang's garden and nursery is stunning. It seems as if the colours come out of the pictures, more than beautiful!It is a pity that these maples don't want to grow in my garden.

Thanks, Maalaispuutarhan Marketta! It should survive, I think! Tatar Maple is related to Acer ginnala (Amur Maple) from northeastern Asia. I used to live in Russia with very cold winters, and there were a lot of Amur maple around.

Japanese Maples are so inspiring! I'm always so thrilled to see them in a garden, even though I don't have any in my own garden. I also found the shots of the Quince and Oriental Pear trees incredibly beautiful. Thanks for sharing highlights from your garden visits!

Oh my goodness, how could one possibly choose just one to buy out of all these gorgeous maples! In my area, most nurseries have no more than 4 or 5 different cultivars to choose from. What a lovely place to visit!

I've always thought there has never been a more beautiful tree than Japanese maples. I had to cut about three feet out of the top of one of the most gorgeous Crimson Qeens you ever seen in my garden last year. The heat got the better of it. It was so disappointing I spent years shaping it, but at least it's still alive.

Thank you Tatyana for the beautiful photos of the garden, such a magical place, I've been away for a while and just catching up to the posts and it's such a pleasure to visit your blog and seeing beauty through your eyes!
